Dell :: Inconsistent Wi-Fi With XPS 17
May 30, 2012
I have a Dell XPS 17 and I am having trouble with the wi-fi. It always connects and works, but is very inconsistent. It will speed up and slow down for no apparent reason. I ran a speed test and it will go from 40mbps to 2mbps. This does not happen on any other device connected to the wireless in the house. It does not happen when the laptop is connected directly. I also purchased a USB wireless adapter and do not have any problems when connecting wirelessly that way.A new modem and router have not changed the problem.I am 100% sure it is the wireless receiver in the laptop itself.

My company just bough me another Dell Latitude 6530 with Dell wireless 1540 half card previously I am using Dell Latitude 6520 with Intel Centrino Ultimate N 6300 without any problem
but this new Dell 6530 wifi connection is pretty slow and inconsistent -- I may got burst of high speed / performance for few seconds but pretty much all time is slow.I ran both the old 6520 and new 6530 side by side as I am transferring file and downloading new software, so I can tell for sure that this new 6530 has some issues.
1. Update the drivers for Dell wireless 1540 using this link [URL]
2. Set the power management to high performance, disable power management for the wireless card as well
3. Turn off "Allow computer to save power" in the wireless card adapter settings

Wireless card is Dell Wirele4ss 1490 Dual Band WLAN Mini-Card
Each time I try to launch the Dell WLAN Utility I get a message:
"Internal configuration is inconsistent. Please restart the machine to resolve the problem."
Restarting does not solve the problem.
The wireless card connects fine with Windows managing the connection. But what about the Dell Utility? What can be done so it will launch and I can let it manage the wireless connections?
I have reinstalled the Driver and utility using R115319.EXE

I'm renting accommodation, so I don't have direct access to the router etc.It's a Belkin (who I understand to be a pile of ****) router.The ping is mostly 6-8ms, but ~10% of the time it spikes to >100ms.This is way too high for a router right? Surely it should be like, 1ms.Wireless connection.It broadcasts two SSIDs (one is the other but with 5ghz appended).

I have a fairly large area to cover with wireless, and set up a second router to act as a repeater. The signal works great, other than being extremely inconsistent. Sometimes I get a speedtest of 18 ping and 7 mbps DL to a nearby server, and 10 seconds later it's 300 ping and 2 mbps. There are no problems when using the primary access point without the repeater. Where should I start in troubleshooting? I can't see why there would be such terrible consistency since much of the time the signal strength is fine. It's purely a problem of dropping the connection often.

I have full wi-fi signal and I have a fast broadband connection. Every now and again the connection speed to just one PC drops to a point where there is almost no activity. I get various "connection timed out" and "DNS lookup failed" errors, then after about 10 minutes of frustration everything works again. I know this problem is isolated to just this one PC as I have done Internet speed tests from another computer. I have tried using different wireless cards, resetting the router, changing DNS servers. Nothing has worked.

i have high speed internet from charter(i know they are not the best but more on that later) with actually download speeds tested online around 10-13mbps on average. i keep my computer pretty clean, running smart defrag, cleaning the disk, anti virus, only have programs running in the background that are needed, have increased my virtual memory and also use readyboost with a 4 gb flashdrive that i allow to use all the flashdrive memory as "ram" memory. so i think this has be something below the surface and that i cannot handle on my own. i do not think it is my internet provider because i have to roommates that have computer and they have no problem usually with the internet. when i say usually i mean they have problems sometimes maybe 3-4 times weekly where i have problems at least 2-3 times a day.

I had a power surge caused by the local electrical provider on February 3, 2011. Since then my computer power source was replaced and the computer works okay. Since the power surge my speed to uploading and downloading on the internet is inconsistent. Time Warner, my internet provider, said it was an internet problem and they replaced the modem, and have worked on their lines multiple times and now say it's a computer problem, not with their wiring. Yesterday I could not get an upload or download signal at all. This morning my download was 29.23 and upload 1.91. Some days it will take 4-5 yours to send an e-mail. I don't know what to do.

My laptop is connected to an Internet cable inside my apartment building for access to a free Internet service provided by the building management.The high speed cable service works okay for a few days but then after say 4 or 5 days it starts to slow down and then on the 6th or 7 day I can no longer connect using the cable. The technician in my building doesnt speak such good English and claims it is a software problem in Windows itself in my laptop ,but I don't know what would cause the software to trigger this condition?The last time the technician told me to go through some steps but I have to admit I have forgotten the very last ones in the " procedure " and how to complete the final steps of the procedure :-
He said to :-
1. Right click on the computer icon on the desktop
2. click on device manager
2. click on " network adapters " these are shown as being " Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller ( NDIS 6.20 ) and secondly " Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11 PCI-E NIC "
4. After that he told me to " refresh " the connection but I have forgotten how to do so?The wireless connection is working okay but I have noticed once this fault happens to the cable connection, the wireless connection doesn't work either until I unplug the cable. Then I can connect to the wireless Internet connection. But if I leave the cable in then neither the cable or the wireless works?

My internet, after a few seconds of working right, craps out on me and I cannot figure out why. I am tempted to purchase a new adapter.My ISP is Comcast, I'm using T1, and I run AVG.

we just switched to a DIR-655 from a terrible Rosewill router a few weeks ago. We've been having some problems, and I've been trying desperatly to figure out what exactly is causing them so I can fix it.
Problem:
The router will periodically, and seemingly at random, dive into huge latency spikes. As of writing this, I am running a one thousand ping latency run from CMD, and I've watched response times go from 15ms average to 300ms average. The time of day seems irrelevant, as is what anyone on the network is doing. After a fresh restart of the router, everything runs smoothly for about 10 minutes, at which point everything goes ham.
Details:
I am using a DIR-655 D-Link router with a Cisco DPC3008 modem provided by Comcast.
Router P/N: BIR655ANA....B1
Router S/N: F35F5BC0019A777
Router Firmware: 2.10NA
Connection Type: DHCP
I've run the Modem directly into my PC, the connection is perfect. I've hard resetted multiple times, as well as run it with all of the above settings on/off. Updating the firmware does nothing. I've moved the router/modem apart so as not to cause signal interference.
Things I Can Try
I want to try running the router with wireless disabled to see if some sort of interference is being caused by the other computers on the network, or if one of them is hogging bandwidth.
I want to try running a program that can monitor or analyze each stage of the connection to see where the problem is.
I want to downgrade to an earlier firmware.

For months now, my ping has been randomly spiking at an inconsistent rate. I can be good for an hour, and down for a week. My usual ping is a solid 15, but it has gone as high as 1000. I've gotten a new modem, and that has changed the problem a little bit(I no longer suffer extreme download and upload loss when my ping drops) but I have yet to find a fix for the problem.

Webpages sometimes load quite sluggish and when playing an online game I am experiencing much more lag. However, if I try loading the same webpages a few minutes later, they will being loading fast again. It seems as if my internet is periodically slowing down. Using speedtest.net, it shows 10Mbps download and 9Mbps upload. However, sometimes when I run speedtest again, the download portion will hang and the test won't complete.My internet provider is COX Communications. I do not think I am using a router as it is university provided internet so I connect my Ethernet directly into the wall jack.

I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router and a few weeks ago my wireless connection started to become inconsistent, it would randomly drop service or be very slow, and now it has become very inconsistent and slow, all the while the wireless signal would be 4-5 bars.On my windows 7 desktop, often times the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark pops up over the signal strength indicator when its at 4-5 bars.I've tried changing to 2 different routers and its the same, and the problem is persistent for all computers in the house.I've connected directly via ethernet to the modem and router and service was fine.There are a few wireless networks in the area,some with quite strong signals, but I downloaded the xirrus wifi inspector and it says I'm not sharing a channel (channel 1) and though I'm ~15ft from the router, the signal is ~65dbm, which seems low and is almost equivalent to neighbor's wireless strength.

I have created 7 QuickVPN users on router and on QuickVPN client. They all work except two. Have deleted and reinstalled on router and in QuickVPN to no avail. Changing the user name by one letter works (eg user NameVPN doesn't work, but NameVP does). Somehow router (I think) is not releasing user credentials/policies (which seems to agree with log). I have rebooted router.

I have a problem with my isa570. Ever since I started using it it sometimes takes me two or three clicks to get a website to load. Also connecting to iTunes is almost impossible. It does work sometimes but then very slowly. I have switched off application control.

I've multiple FWSMs running. The funny thing: When I do a "show resource usage" I have one blade showing a "Conns [rate]" and "Syslogs [rate]" values and one blade isn't.
SSH 4 5 15 0 admin
Syslogs [rate] 1 437 unlimited 0 admin
Conns 149 23465 unlimited 0 admin
Xlates 154 2877 unlimited 0 admin
Hosts 154 2877 unlimited 0 admin
Mac-addresses 6 7 65535 0 admin
All modules are running the same software version 3.2(10).And the even more funny thing is: on one blade I have different output for all the contexts on it.What's the reason for that behaviour? A bug?

I have two switches claiming to be the root bridge for the same vlans. The 3750-X stack was configured to be the root for vlans present and the 2960S was brought online over the weekend to replace another one. This is the command I used to attempt and make the 3750-X stack the root
spanning-tree vlan 1-2,10,50,101,200,900,999 root primary diameter 4
The IOS converted that to this
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

I have recently bought a brand new Dell XPS One 2710 with windows 7.Really annoyingly, the WIFI connection is very slow, and disconnects every 10-20 minutes (sometimes reconnects again a few minute later, sometime not until the computer is restarted).I have no such problems when connecting with my Lenovo laptop to the same network.The wireless card installed is: Dell Wireless 1703 802.11 b/g/n (2.4 GHz).As far as I can tell the driver is up to date.

Current problem with Dell XPS 14z wireless connectivity, i have the laptop since January 2012 and all was well until January 2013. Problems started acting after christmas and now I regularly get dropped from the network. And now, my 8Meg broadband service often only gives me 0.1 downloads. I suspect, because some new router/AP device in the area is interfering with mine (which is a zyxel modem, supplied by Irish national telecoms provider, Eircom.)i have done speedtest around the house and when it fails in the sitting room (less than 20 feet from modem), I tend to get better results in the hall (10 incehs from modem).When I view available devices, one or two others get consistently better strength than mine -- not sure if this is the brand of mod

My specific Dell is the XPS 17 with the 3D screen (Model: XPS L702X). I checked product support and on this laptop it states a 3G card is not available on the 3D panel. I'm wondering why did they exclude the 3G card from this laptop. As far as I know, a 3D panel will have no effect on a 3G card (when Installed). Or is it they used the port for the 3G card for the 3D panel which I find highly unlikely.
I have contacted customer support but the people are not very informative. How to make this 3G card work in this laptop or how to get one in and make it work?

My wi-fi has always been a little spotty, but today it finally just completely stopped working.
I have an XPS L502x running Windows 7 and a Verizon FiOS connection (Actiontec modem/router). My work laptop (running XP), phone (Android), desktop (Win 8), and my girlfriend's Mac connect to this network fine. But the Dell has consistently had trouble over the year that I've owned it. In the past, I've been able to force it to connect by manually resetting the wi fi, but that didn't work today.
The wi fi will intermittently find the network, fail to connect to the internet, then lose connectivity to the network itself. Windows troubleshooting says I should reset the router (despite all of the other successful connections). This works for a second, but the Dell loses connectivity again (note: I''ve seen that this is associated with McAffee in other questions, but I'm not running McAffee). When I tried running the Intel troubleshooter, it passed all tests but the last one, saying it "Failed to Ping".
Another weird thing (not sure if it's related) is that my computer displays four different Network Adapters in Device Manager. One is the Intel Wireless-N 1000, but there are also two Windows adapters and what looks like a generic PCI driver. If you disable any one of them, you get the Intel "wireless adapter disabled" message. If you uninstall the Windows adapters, both reinstall when you try to connect to the network.

I bought a used XPS M1530 from a friend a few months ago and he told me it did have Bluetooth, but I've tried everything I can think of and can't get it to work. I went to computer management services, it's says it's set to automatic and is running, nothings happening.

I have dell inspiron n4110, my warranty got expired recently. Suddenly I am getting blue screen and automatically re install again and windows is not coming up again, I tried all the options like restore etc. but finally I have seen a post in this forum and filled up the form to get Reinstallation CDs from Dell. I did the re install from dell supplied CDs its windows 7 even my earlier os also the same. After reinstall my wifi is not working and I tried to connect the Internet with a LAN cable and down load the required drivers for wifi,surprisingly even it's not recognizing and not connecting to Internet, I tried with my friend laptop with the LAN cable,his laptop is detecting LAN and working fine. what needs to be done to get it connected to Internet from LAN or wifi.
